Bootleg Brick Building Sets I Bought in 2017

Hi There! I made this list of all the fake lego sets that I bought back in 2017. Most of my sets were purchased from Aliexpress, with a few from eBay and a few from private seller Jeremy on Reddit.

Total 37 sets

Here are the main themes of my bootlego collection this year:

City (23), including Fire-Police (6), Trains (3), Marine (3)

Star Wars (5)

Friends (3)

Modular (2)

Superheroes (2)

Pirate (1)

Military (1)

Purchased from:

Aliexpress (18)

Ebay (14)

Jeremy (5)

My Favorite Themes

I like building my Its-Not-Lego town with all of the modular buildings and city sets which I can incorporate into it. I bought the Hsanhe set and some of the Friends sets primarily as parts fodder of my MOCs such as the modular style pizzeria and flower shop. I've now got most of the modular buildings that I want with the exception of the Lepin Assembly Square.

My favorite set from 2017 has to be the Lepin 05053 Star Wars AT-OT just because it looks cool and I always wanted the Lego version but could never afford it.

How many bootleg sets did you buy in 2017 and which ones were your favorites? Let me know in the comments!
